1st Hospital Visit

Well we got to experience the new children's hospital last night. Samantha continued to get sick all day long so I called into the Health Link and they suggested we take her in. They are pretty sure she has a viral infection of some sort and she was starting to get quite dehydrated, so they tried to put a IV in but it didn't work. One nurse tried to put it in her hands, but the vein burst both times and then a different nurse tried in each of her feet- again they burst. So instead we had to wake her every 10 Min's to give her a syringe of pedialite. She has not thrown up since about 3:00Am and we left the Hospital about 4:00. We are hopeful we have seen the worst and she will get back to her regular bubbly self. They said it is crazy contagious so not to be surprised if we all get it! FUN. Hopefully it will skip us. I just got a email from a friend that we were with on Sunday and she said her little girl is pretty sick too so maybe they caught it together?

So the children's hospital is very nice and the staff is fantastic. We did however wait for quite a long time. Fred and I have come to the conclusion We would rather a long wait then a serious sickness that made her a priority.

We are thankfull she is okay.

How is Samantha now? I hope she is doing better, I hope that the rest of you manage to not get this.
